After further testing it seems that LimitExcept doesn't work as it should
either.

I'm trying to limit that some network block is only able to perform GET
queries to cups daemon, so they can see printer status and pending jobs
from a web browser, but they cannot make any changes nor send requests.

This is a cupsd.conf excerpt:

<Location />
    Order allow,deny
    Allow 10.0.0.0/8
    Allow @LOCAL
    <LimitExcept GET>
    Allow 192.168.0.0/16
    </Limit>    # FIXME: this should be </LimitExcept>
</Location>

Thus, I'm wondering whether the whole LimitException is working fine.
